Ep 14. Seven, Macy, and Lex

Seven, Macy, and Lex are three dogs with very different personalities who are in dire need of help. In this episode of Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan works his magic on each of these pups to help them become happier and more balanced.

Seven is a black and white Border Collie who is anxious and nervous around people. His owner, a professional dog trainer, is at a loss for how to help him overcome his fears. Cesar quickly identifies that Seven is picking up on his owner's anxious energy and suggests some techniques to help her remain calm and assertive while working with him. He also works with Seven to build his confidence and teach him that he can trust people.

Macy is a sweet Golden Retriever who is afraid of other dogs. Her owners want her to be able to play with other dogs at the park, but Macy becomes overwhelmed and anxious in these situations. Cesar helps Macy's owners understand that her fear is based on a lack of socialization and exposure to other dogs. He shows them how to gradually introduce Macy to other dogs and how to read her body language to ensure that she feels safe and secure. With patience and persistence, Macy begins to relax around other dogs and even starts to play with them.

Lex is a high-energy Terrier mix who is constantly barking and jumping up on people. His owners love him but feel like they can't control his behavior. Cesar works with Lex to teach him some basic obedience commands like sit and stay, as well as some impulse control exercises to help him learn how to calm down. He also shows Lex's owners how to provide him with enough exercise and mental stimulation to keep him from becoming bored and restless.

Throughout the episode, Cesar emphasizes the importance of understanding a dog's individual needs and personality when trying to train them. He reminds viewers that every dog is different and requires a customized approach to training and behavior modification.

By the end of the show, Seven, Macy, and Lex have all made significant progress in overcoming their issues. Their owners feel more equipped to handle their dogs' behavior and are thrilled to see them becoming happier and more confident. The episode serves as a reminder of the power of positive reinforcement training and the importance of providing dogs with the guidance and affection they need to thrive.
